As a former resident of Illinois; There's only two groups that have firearms in Chicago the cops that obviously can't be everywhere and the criminal element that wouldn't think of obeying Chicagos laws. This leaves the bulk of the population which is honest and lawabiding essentially defenseless.
That's one of the reasons I was relieved to see Chicago "In my rearview mirror" 14 years ago. This whole sitation of a City with a homocide rate out of control supports the premise the "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns."
I and others have recently taken some flak for our strident position that the November elections will be critical in determining whether this whole Country becomes one big Chicago.
We have to fight this with every means at our disposal so please get out and vote next week.
REMEMBER Barack Obama comes out of the Democrat Chicago City machine and his views are essentially the same as Mayor Richie Daley one of the most anti-gun City officials in this Country.
